Hi Greg,
I’m with you with FCP7. Although I don’t have it, I’ve used it and have taken editing/filmin courses that use it. I also found it a real pain and unintuitive to use compared to Vegas. And so slow to use… this whole render thing.
However, it’s the advancements in FCPX that prompted Joel to start this thread…and may make me switch. and the price…. can’t beat it. $300 for an industry standard/professional NLE.
by the way, I’ve never taken a course which featured Vegas as the editing suite. Always FCP. again, for obvious reasons.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve loved Vegas but FCPX seems to promise to close the gap for me and negate my previous reservations from migrating to it.
